Plus, we take a deep dive into Starmer’s leadership. How does he compare to the likes of Harold Wilson - when (if ever) will he have his own ‘white heat’ moment? That’s Oh God, What Now? With special guest Anthony Broxton, who runs the Tides of History project and is author of Hope and Glory: Rugby League in Thatcher’s Britain. https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/hope-and-glory “On workers rights it’s been somewhat of a trade-off.” – Zoë Grünewald “Angela Rayner’s basically been the darling of the TUC of late.” – Zoë Grünewald “I think as Labour gets closer to government a distance needs to develop… if they’re in bed together neither can do their jobs properly.” – Alex Andreou “Starmer, even though he’s ahead in the polls, he hasn’t had his white heat moment.” – Anthony Broxton We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVOIkIWUDtu7VrVcFs0OI0A www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Alex Andreou, Zoë Grünewald and guest Anthony Broxton.
